Ah, the old "opinion v fact" thing
you may think it is pleasant, but if it is a red wine, I can almost guarantee I would not agree but that is my opinion and should not be mistaken for a fact

Rain.
At 8.30am today I spoke to our competitors Captain (Seniors/Vets) about our vist to them at 11am. (Their course got closed for several hours yesterday.)
He said "I'm here with the Greens staff and the course is ok so we'll go ahead, especially as its the last fixture. But, to be sure I'll call you back at 9."
It was just fine drizzle here so I messaged the team to stand by their phones.
9am he rang. I said "What's that row in the background?"
He said "Players running off the course. The game's off and its coming your way!"
20 mins later Kaboom!
Battering down!

When it comes to rain many years ago I had phew moment. I realised we had not checked before buying our house, Nearby road is called Water Street, then found out a new drainage scheme went in.
Last year there was a week when you could only get in and out of the village if you had a very high off the ground vehicle (made the national news). That was the first time though it happened in the 40 years we have lived here, there is normally one road, out of four, that is high enough above the water plain to get out.

At the start of the year the reservoirs here in southeast Spain had 13% of capacity. Thankfully, there’s been a bit more rain this summer + water restrictions. Currently up to 21%.
We live about 20 miles from Europe’s only desert, deserto Tabernas.

I didn't state a fact, nor did I make any sweeping statements about all home made wine being rubbish. I leave that to others who are just looking for an argument.Ah, the old "opinion v fact" thing
you may think it is pleasant, but if it is a red wine, I can almost guarantee I would not agree but that is my opinion and should not be mistaken for a fact.
I gave my opinion on the WHITE wine I make (Riesling) as being lovely.
As personal taste is just that...personal, I object being told that my wine is rubbish.
This forum has turned out to have more than its fair share of argumentative people who just love arguing
Getting sick and tired of it.

The lack of rainfall in Southern Europe is getting to be very concerning.

2 weeks in very sunny Portugal. On the day we flew out a "cold" started. Felt a bit low and tired for the entire 12 days. Drank sugar free energy drinks when body demanded it and plenty of water and wine (to fight the bugs you see). Been home a few days. Still a bit up and down. Played golf twice over the weekend, sniffle snuffle cough cough etc etc. Today? I'm shattered. I've spent the day on the sofa being looked after. I'm wrapped up in a blanket, still coughing, full of catarrh it just will not go. Seniors match on Thursday. I'm not sure I'll be fit. What the hell is this?

Well, that's what I'm thinking. I've no tests. But there's a few people that have it I'm told.

Bobmac, I sincerely hope you havent pigeonholed me as "argumentative" from what I regarded as a gentle humorous "tease". I certainly haven't decried your home made wine as "rubbish". How could I?
Chill bro', just like your very pleasant Riesling (Im sure).

Both my wife and I had it, but we both tested negative. Friends have had/got it, and they are testing positive. I suspect its which test kit you have that determines how accurate the results are. One thing we all found, it really wipes you out for ages after.

I’ve said it before (possibly multiple times) but I’ll say it again;
The complete lack of self awareness of some folks. It’s astonishing.

I apologise if I came over argumentative, was just pointing out, along with the theme of the thread, that many people think their home made produce is amazing and sometimes it is so far off the mark but still give it out to others and expect them to love it and praise it.
Sorry again for the misunderstanding
